I'm a real fan of early talkies. I record every one on TCM and burn 98% of them to disk. Not The Fall Guy. If you want to see what a stage play of 1925 looked like, this is a perfect example. Two sets, little camera movement, over acting. And so boring. I interrupted the film 3 times to do other things because I couldn't bear to watch it straight through. Only Mae Clark distinguished herself from a dull cast - except for Ned Sparkes who gave one of the most annoying performances I'd ever seen. I see that several reviewers gave the film high marks as an unintentional comedy. I only wish it was that bad; I could have used a laugh.
